Manila Water Company has taken a major step toward environmental sustainability while ensuring affordable water services by securing its East Zone operations a 100% renewable retail electricity supply through its partnership with AdventEnergy, Aboitiz Power Corporation’s retail electricity arm. 

The partnership guarantees Manila Water’s facilities to be powered by renewable energy and reinforces the company’s commitment to reducing its carbon footprint and supporting the country’s clean energy transition. The agreement covers the company’s Enterprise operations, including the East Zone of Metro Manila and Rizal, while non-East Zone business units—Cebu Water, Tagum Water, Calbayog Water, Laguna Water, Estate Water, LARC Water, Boracay Water, and South Luzon Water—will be supplied with a 20% Renewable Energy (RE) mix.

“This Retail Supply Agreement reinforces Manila Water’s mission to create value for our customers, communities, and the environment,” said Roberto R. Locsin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Manila Water. “By increasing the use of renewable energy to power our operations and optimizing efficiency across our facilities, we affirm our commitment to future generations—protecting the environment, ensuring affordable water services, and supporting national energy sustainability goals. We are proud to lead the water industry’s transition toward responsible and resilient energy systems.”

“We thank Manila Water for a renewed trust in this partnership that started in 2023. Guided by our philosophy of  Always-on Innovation,  we intend to continue building on our early successes and commit to the pursuit of service excellence for families and communities in need of reliable water services,” AdventEnergy President James Yu said. 

“This pursuit goes hand-in-hand with Manila Water’s promise of creating better lives and resilient economies through the provision of critical infrastructure.”

Through this collaboration, both companies contribute to the Philippine government’s renewable energy agenda and national decarbonization efforts.
